Week 2 - Start whirlpool therapy or apply moist heat to joint for 15 minutes at leastonce per day before exercise. Start slow leash walks up to 10 minutes per day and PROM. continued ice pack therapy after exercise.

Week 3 - Continued exercise and adjunct therapy initiated in 2 week; increase walks to 20 minutes and include uneven ground (grass along the concrete).

Weeks 4- Continued exercise and adjunct therapy from week 2; increase leash walks to 30 minutes and gradual inclines and declines in the terrain. Continued ice pack therapy if swelling persists.

Week7 through12 - Progress by increasing the length of time for walking, swimming or stair climbing. By week 12, resume normal exercise. At times during a physical therapy program, improvement should be noted. If the dog becomes painful or lame during the program, contact CCAH and restart at an earlier week. NSAIDs such as Previcox may be need for short or long time duration for pain and inflammation control.

During the rehabilitation of my dog, Gauge, after his knee surgery I placed him on a joint supplement for added joint health called Joint Support. I have found that this has helped greatly in his day to day activity. There are several different formulation out there and most are very helpful.

Testimonial

Dear Dr. Cade and Staff, Your service and dedication to Chewy was outstanding! I would (and have) highly recommended your service to others. The kindness, compassion and actual concern for our furry family members is always genuine. Your compassion helped me endure the challenge or raising an epileptic dog and when the time came to end his suffering, you were right there to support Charles and I.
